Does anyone else use Picnik?

I am just curious as to how many use Picnik for post processing on here.....I have tried to use GIMP, and Paint.NET....but have so much trouble trying to figure them out (i also dont have alot of time to work with them to figure them out, since im a nursing student/mother/wife, always busy!)....I always seem to get the results that I am looking for with Picnik...so is there really a need to keep "trying" to learn GIMP?

I feel your pain! When I first downloaded gimp, it was like trying to read a foreign language. Then I found picnik. Finally, I actually enjoyed the post-processing because it was really easy to use, and I got some really fun results. I think what really matters is that you are happy with the results of your photos, no matter what program you use. Personally, I eventually outgrew picnik and wanted more creative freedom, which I found with Gimp.
I would say to enjoy picnik, but don't give up on Gimp (or other editing programs). I recommend Meet the Gimp and Iffles. Each have some really great tutorials to help you learn Gimp. Good luck!
